Yeah, like in thr absence of capitlaism ai could be treat. But I stead being teatoilled about it people keep trying to use it to neoliberal harder so that does suck.
yeah the actual tech that's actually squeezed out of it, basically the ability to exmaine large datasets and gather meaning from them, might actually be revolutionary
the enviro impact does negate it. unless China has a bunch of excess generation capacity from their future thorium cycle reactors and just want to use it for actual noble purposes.
That’s what you get when you have a detestable crowd of conmen jumping from hyped thing to hyped thing to try and speculate and con money out of late entrants. It’s the same people, the crypto-bros and wallstreet bets people that go around pushing AI hype and everyone knows it reeks
Yeah, ai is a fun toy. That is all it is going to be in this iteration. That's fine though. People like fun toys. That is the level of serious thought it deserves.
